Katheti’s 2024 Program
In the picturesque Pounta of Poros, the cultural and educational center Katheti is a place of creativity and learning. With a mission to bring people together, promote education, and highlight the unique cultural heritage of the area, Katheti is ready for a year full of events and activities!
Our new multifunctional venue with numerous possibilities will host this year a variety of cultural, educational and recreational events for all ages! From concerts, film screenings and immersive theatre performances, to game nights, educational seminars on a wide range of topics and events dedicated to the rich local culture, there is something for everyone. For the summer season, Katheti will not stay limited to its own space, but with plenty of initiative we will organize events in different parts of the region highlighting its landmarks.
In addition to our monthly events, at Katheti we offer activities on a weekly or regular basis. Poros Hasapiko and Folk Dances lessons every Monday and Thursday, with George Klirodotakos, give us the unique opportunity to be introduced to the art and local tradition of these dances and to connect with the history of the island. The Vocal Ensemble Workshop with Sofia Zarani, after its successful performance this summer, returns for a second consecutive year! Every Wednesday, through this musical experience, the members of the workshop explore the art of choral singing and perfect their vocal talent, while rehearsing for future theater performances and local concerts. The schedule for Katheti’s new activities such as Photography Group, Drama Workshop and Craft Workshop will also be announced very soon.
At Katheti, we are committed to protecting the environment and promoting sustainability. As Poros is threatened by the plans for POAY, Katheti, wanting to support the common effort of our region, organizes, in collaboration with local teachers, environmental actions, such as clean-ups and interactive activities, like the game Sokakia, aiming to inform and raise awareness. Particular emphasis is placed on the younger generation as the climate crisis is a major challenge for them.
Our goal at Katheti is to foster a strong sense of community and enrich the life of the region through the wide range of activities and events we offer. These initiatives are testament to our belief that culture and education are the foundation of a vibrant and united community. Join us on this beautiful journey!
